It's good news they're going through old bugs. I'll add this to my list of good things Mozilla has done recently.

BUT there are still way too many issues I research that end up to be related to these 20 years old bugs.

There's a lot of catching up to do. Way too much to write an article for every one. Let's maybe congratulate them for the tenth?

I wouldn't use "them" in this sentence, Mozilla is non-profit organization, but Gecko is open source - anyone is free to send them patch. The problem is that development in this environment is not an easy task. Yup, it is improving overtime, build scripts are constantly updated, but is still huge codebase with a lot of "magic".
